Xamoa Monet, first AI artist on Billboard charts

Xamoa Monet has become the first AI artist to reach the American Billboard charts. The virtual music personality reached 30th place on the Billboard Adult R&B Airplay chart with the song «How Was I Supposed to Know?»

The song, with lyrics by poet Telisha Jones, has already made an impression. Monet has secured a $3 million record deal with Hallwood Media.

Her manager, Romel Murphy, stated that people «react to the music, not to who or what produces it.» The success of AI artists such as The Velvet Sundown and Spotify's collaboration with record labels to develop AI tools show that the transition to a new music production model has already begun.

Xamoa Monet's success is sparking discussions about the future of human creativity in the music industry.
